Option 1: 4 km towards the west
Option 2: 2 km towards the north
Option 3: 2 km towards the east
Option 4: 4 km towards the south
Correct Answer: 2 km towards the east
Solution : Firstly, we will draw the diagram as per the given instructions –
Here, A is the starting point, and B is the endpoint.
So, the distance between the starting point and the endpoint is AB.
AB = 8 – 6 = 2
So, he had to travel 2 km towards the east to reach point A. Hence, the third option is correct.
